New tab doesn't seem to work after the latest update. Please fix this
after the latest update, i wasn't able to open a new tab(whether using the menu FILE>New Tab or pressing CTRL+T). I am using windows 8.1 SL 64bit. when i revert back to the older version, the new tab function seems to work.

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Even the (+) sign doesn't seem to work either

Thank you, it is all working fine now. after restarting firefox to safemode, i disabled all my addons. and start again in normal mode. one of my addons must be the culprit, ill investigate on this. thank you for your help
